Lady Beetle

Lady beetles (AKA lady bugs) are in the order  Coleoptera. They are beneficial and have a complete metamorphosis. They eat other harmful insects like the aphid, which is their favorite meal.

I posted the picture to the left to show the life cycle, but I have actually had the joy of finding and taking pictures of these myself as well, so I will also show off my pictures below.


Do you see the little yellow dot behind the lady beetle?

I will talk about the walking stick next week.  Happy insect collecting!
